GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

The older that I get, the more feminine I have become.
The more feminine I have become, the more complete I am.

My support group meeting was great! Afterwards, I chatted with a transsexual for an hour. I feel so much a part of this community and group. Each day, I glean something new in my journey as a transgender. We still have a ways to go as a minority group, but I see some small victories. I see people sruggling and getting comfortable with their identity. I see people grow emotionally as they break the shackles of shame and fear in their lives. To me, this is the most satisfying time when that happens.

My support group has been tremendous. It was a great exchange of vibes and the tribulations of transgendered folks in particular. I look forward to the next meeting.

I am actively looking for a dress and shoes. I have a much better picture of how I want to look. There's so many beautiful colors and styles. I am going to make my grand entrance wearing something red. It's bold and loud. I'm pretty excited now and can't wait to go out in public.

I'm writing a lot now. Poetry and mostly plays. With school work included, it's hard to keep up, but I am manging it. I want to travel this summer. I haven't decided where yet, but I hope I have the opportunity to crossdress while on vacation.

Yesterday, shopped for myself purchasing two bras, five pairs of panties, and my first pair of pantyhose. I am looking for shoes now. I am looking forward to the day that I go out in public as a woman. It's getting closer and I am excited.

HAPPY

VALENTINE'S

DAY

I saw the movie "Transamerica" last night and I recommend it. Felicity Huffman acted superbly as a transitining woman. The movie was funny, serious, and spoke volumes about how difficult transitioning is on family as well as the individual. I enjoyed the movie.

Next week, I may go to a poetry recitation but I haven't decided where. There are a lot of them to chose from. There are other movies out there but I haven't decided which one I want to see.

Tuesday, I am going to wear as much red as possible. In a perfect scenario, I would wear a red dress and go out to dinner with friends. Someday, maybe.

This Friday, I am going to see the film "Transamerica". I wanted to see it prior to the film winning awards. It's worth a see since it did win awards.

I am currently reading two books. They are "Girlfriend: Men, Women, and Drag" and "Crossdressing, Sex, and Gender". I will comment on these books when I complete them.

My support group starts up again tomorrow. I missed my fellow transgenders and look forward to seeing them again.

It is February already! Valentine's Day is in a couple of weeks. I am going to wear red that day. I have something planned with my spouse. I may purchase a red dress and shoes. This month, I will go out in public dressed en femme. I'm kind of excited and nervous but it is something that I want to do.
